This would be great if Android M (or even 5.1) was not miles away from official Sony release
So it's now official that z1c is receiving android M.
Its good to hear that, as I 2 days ago buy my Z1 Compact, and its awsome that it will have support for M.

Android M is miles away from official Google release. Sony released this less than a month after Google released their preview...what more do you want from them ?! Should they release Android versions before Google produces them ?!
And 5.1(wich brings nothing new) is a month away , not miles away : http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/06...-5-1-coming-for-xperia-m2-and-xperia-m2-aqua/

I agree.
Except with bold part, android 5.1.1 is finaly polished version of lollipop, at least from my experience with Nexus 7 2013.
For example, ram memory leak (redraw apps when multitasking) is finaly solved, and that problem is present in all android versions from 5.0 to 5.1
Sony rolled out android 5.1.1 for the Z2 and Z3 a while back and said other devices would get it in the following weeks! It's been awhile now and they didn't even certify a new build yet :/ I'm starting to think Sony is going to say that 2gb of ram is not enough to run the latest android
When do you guys think it's coming?
Are you waiting for the update or are you happy with the os right now?
i am really getting annoyned with the ram management if they wont update it , atleast fix the memory management e.e
Yes agreed. My phone has become barely usable because of that ****ty memory management in 5.0.2. They should really move on to 5.1.1 because that's ruined for too long now. What fears me though is that the new version is still not published on PTCRB which means it won't be available in the next two weeks... We will have to wait somewhere in September probably.

They promised to release 5.1.1 soon so let's see if that comes before the end of September.

It hasnt been certified yet , usualy the update comes after 2 weeks after certification.
Xperia z1 will be another fail just like xperia sp
Since launch it still has bad multitasking
And sony will discontinue it's update cycle along with the original xperia z
So i think z1 z1c zu z and zr wont get the taste of android M imo
, they said they would release it the following weeks after z2 update, not the following month/s
Yeah, 5.1 was a let down on other devices, will not be any different with the Z1. Looking for a long battery life and fast ROM based on 4.4.4. Already went back on my other devices.

Probably will stick with fxp if the Z1 won't get the M . i've seen mods that allows you tu use 4k and other camera features from the stock rom on cm and other aosp rom so i will not loose great things going to fxp or cm :lol:

What's your source? As it is not yet on PTCRB there's no way it is going to be released this week.
actually i think and hope that they delayed the 5.1.1 to include the stagefright patch in the next update

It is live right now. Anyway a lot of users have problems with 5.1.1 on z3 so maybe Sony will fix them that's why it is taking so long.

Where have you seen the 5.1 ftf for Z1?
guys
you can easily fix memory management problem
use kernel adiutor and go to Low Memory Manager Killer and change numbers to lower Values.

Changing LMK is not enough unfortunately. That's not a matter of LMK.
according to this blog post by Sony: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2016/08/23/sony-xperia-and-android-7-0-nougat/
We will make Android 7.0, Nougat available for: Xperia Z3+, Xperia Z4 Tablet, Xperia Z5, Xperia Z5 Compact, Xperia Z5 Premium, Xperia X, Xperia XA, Xperia XA Ultra and Xperia X Performance

Wtf the Z3 gets dev preview but doesn't get official update,that is the bigger bulls*it ever
Hold your [email protected], people...
I think it's not a final word from them... remember that original Xperia Z received the updates being 2 years old. Just relax and wait, maybe they'll change their mind.
Sent from my Xperia Z3 Compact using XDA-Developers mobile app
I don't see it having developer builds and not the final one
What option do we have for longtime support for Z3 Compact? There is no official Cyanogen mod support either?
This sucks. Just bought another z3 because I smashed the screen on my last one. Still my all time fave Android phone.
i used sonymobile 3 product
play no upgrade to 4
SP no upgrade to 4.4
and last z3c no upgrade to 7 due to use cpu 32 bit
i think next mobile is Nexus Sailfish
but i waiting see xperia XR if it has speed shutter
may be buy sony again hahahaha
This is from concept google+ community:
Regarding Nougat Android 7.0 update
We know that you all hoped for a N release and we really wanted to give you one but instead we have to tell you that we won't be able to.
The reasons are both technical and legal. If you followed the N Developer Preview program you know that we didn't release the final DP5. That program ran into some unforeseen limitations (1) that could not be resolved.
This is the reason that both concept and official won't be upgraded to Android N (2).

must sux for the sony devs. looks like they tried to pull it off but execs came and said no.
Please read again the link, it says and i quote,
"We’ve been working hard to bring this major update to as many of our devices as possible, as quickly as we can. We’re really excited about the new Sony features & functionality and the improvements we’ve made to the user experience – and we’ll be sharing more soon… so stay tuned to the blog and @SonyMobileNews for all the latest news on timings and features."

Seems that Google removed the support for Snapdragon 800/801 from the Kernel, that's what they call unforeseen limitations (the Nexus 5, Snapdragon 800 don't get the update either).
Such an unpopular decision for a very popular device, like z3(c).

Maybe its because of chipset is X86

Well.... Z3 and Z3 Compact doesn't use any X86 chipset, it uses a arm-based chipset (Snapdragon 801 namely), and the reason Sony can't bring the upgrade to the Z3 and Z3 Compact is becuase Google removed support for the Snapdragon 801.
Sony have confirmed which Xperia devices will get the update on their blog and social media. Xa and Xa ultra are confirmed obviously.
great!!!
great, but when it release the android N for XAU ????

I guess it will available after they launch new XA1 on April or XA1U on summer
since they need to give some more advantage to buy a new phone so old users have to wait :crying:
Well it seems that XA series(XA,XA dual, XA ultra, XA ultra dual)will get the nougat on July-August for European single SIM versions-Shame Sony

Actually typical Sony, it is why they are losing ground.

Just update to Nougat. Seem prety fast n more batery life. Nice..
Sent from my F3216 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Had to factory reset my phone before updating. Could've been to lack of storage, the phone is running great and battery life seems to have improved.
Got the Nougat OTA but it failed to install. Alternative is use the Xperia Companion on your PC to do the update, at least it worked for me, not sure if this helps.
Can u please send me the screenshots . I am very eager to see
Pie is coming for xz primium or not??? ?
Sure. Sony phones do usually get 2 years of support. We've still got time until summer 2019

Exactly there. Maybe it shows when you update the Support app. Either that, or it's region related.

It's as up-to-date as Software Update is allowing. Perhaps North America is low on the update priority list

i got Pie this morning in the USA.
i am super-relieved that Sony did not implement the awful new open apps carousel or the new split-screen mode.
